Center align

[YuvrajRaghuvanshiS]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have been in documentations and issue for some time now and could not find how do I center align widgets.

My code

from dearpygui.core import *
from dearpygui.simple import *

# Global variables.
global mainWidth, mainHeight
mainWidth = 1200
mainHeigth = 800


def getPrevText(sender, data):
    print('Previous...')


def getNextText(sender, data):
    print('Next...')


def getDate():
    return 'Mar 26 2019 12:34PM'


# Window object settings.
set_main_window_title('App')
set_main_window_pos(100, 50)
set_theme("Gold")

with window('main'):

    with managed_columns("Columns", 2):

        with group("Left Group"):
            add_text(getDate())
            add_spacing(count=10)
            add_image_button('prev', 'arrowUp.png',
                             background_color=[0, 0, 0],
                             callback=getPrevText,
                             height=30,
                             width=30,
                             tip='Previous reading.'
                             )

        with group("Right Group"):
            add_text(getDate())
            add_spacing(count=10)
            add_image_button('prev', 'arrowUp.png',
                             background_color=[0, 0, 0],
                             callback=getPrevText,
                             height=30,
                             width=30,
                             tip='Previous reading.'
                             )

start_dearpygui(primary_window='main')

It produces window like that

however I want my output in this alignment

how do I center align texts and buttons in there? Also since we're discussing this design could you also help me with how can I make "text box" which is not the left of my design

Try this:

from dearpygui.core import *
from dearpygui.simple import *

# Global variables.
global mainWidth, mainHeight
mainWidth = 1200
mainHeigth = 800


def getPrevText(sender, data):
    print('Previous...')


def getNextText(sender, data):
    print('Next...')


def getDate():
    return 'Mar 26 2019 12:34PM'


# Window object settings.
set_main_window_title('App')
set_main_window_pos(100, 50)
set_theme("Gold")

with window('main'):

    with managed_columns("Columns", 2):

        with child("Left Group", autosize_x=True, autosize_y=True):
            add_text(getDate())
            add_spacing(count=10)

        with child("Right Group", autosize_x=True, autosize_y=True):
            add_text(getDate())
            add_spacing(count=10)

start_dearpygui(primary_window='main')

But look, layouts are currently lacking and we are working on a new layout system. Specific layout details will likely become pretty hacky in the current version. You may be better off checking out the discord for advice from other users who are trying to accomplish similar tasks.

For now, we are closing issues related to layouts because the new layout system will solve 99% of these.
